With the Presidential Election right around the corner Kay County Election Board Secretary Carol Leaming is encouraging all registered voters to verify their voting information using the State Election Board’s OK Voter Portal.
“If it’s been a while since you’ve voted or you’ve recently moved or changed your name, now is the time to make sure your registration information is up to date. We want everyone to have a positive experience at the polls,” Leaming, said.
The OK Voter Portal can be found at oklahoma.gov/elections/ovp
Leaming said voters who moved to another county or changed their name, will need to submit a new Voter Registration Application. Applications are available at the County Election Board or online at oklahoma.gov/elections. Most other changes such as mailing address or party affiliation can be made online at oklahoma.gov/elections/ovp.
Changes must be submitted no later than 25 days before and election. Changes submitted after the deadline will be processed immediately following the election. Applications whose registrations forms are accepted will be mailed a new Voter Identification Card. Applications whose registration forms are rejected will be notified in writing.
Leaming said voters who encounter an issue with their registration information on Election Day can always cast a provisional ballot with a signed affidavit. Provisional ballots are verified and (if valid) counted after the election, but before election results are certified.
The Kay County Election Board is located in Newkirk at 219 S. Main St. Newkirk, OK . Office hours are Monday through Friday 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. Voters with questions should contact the Kay County Election Board at 580 362 2130 or [email protected]
